This is the best line-up you could wish for on a Monday night at the cosy Monarch. Don’t be surprised if you find a stranger’s head resting on your shoulder halfway through the show and don’t be surprised if it doesn’t bother you at all, that’s the effect these bands tend to have on crowds, dreamy, familiar, cosy and a glass of whiskey in your hand should round it all off nicely.
Here’s something somebody else wrote about Horse Feathers and some videos below:
Cynic’s New Year” professes an ending but welcomes Horse Feathers’ fans with the promise of something new. To be sure, old friends return. Wrapped around the warmth of Justin Ringle’s vocals and sparkling guitar, fiddles dance in the spaces between, above the smoky banjo and woven through thefoundation of the lower strings. The lyrics traverse familiar themes from natural disaster to the deeply personal, each through Justin Ringle’s uniquely American linguistic lens. New vistas, new stories, are explored with deep insight and fresh intimacy, always with an abiding respect and affection. The universe rises to threaten, inspire and sometimes punish, but always to teach a valuable lesson. Souls, lost and found, embark on thoughtful emotional journeys.
